Are you voulunteering to maintain this package? asked to support about the license. It looks like Sigmatel was bought by Freescale. "McKissick Rebecca" <lmckissick> says: --cut-- No license is required- but as stated before, these parts are no longer available, nor in the information at that website. --end-- next step ? This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping 'No license is required'? CC'ing FE-LEGAL, but I don't think that's enough of a disclaimer for us to ship. Yeah, we need license terms for this firmware. (In reply to comment #6) > Yeah, we need license terms for this firmware. There is NO license and freescale(was sigmatel) said: "I am sorry, but this is not possible." to my request: I would like a license like this, or similar. Is it possible ?? (replace XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with SIGMATEL and YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY with the hardware device) ----top license---- Copyright (c) 2008 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Corporation YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Firmware You may redistribute the hardware specific firmware binary file under the following terms: 1.

But if you _insists_ that it is not necesary, I will put a file with this mail into the distribucion. ========================================================================== If Fedora Legal want to try it talk with McKissick Rebecca <lmckissick> Now, I am going to close this bug. -thanks- |
